TRADE PROBLEM HELD TOUGHEST

JOB FOR MUTT §

Law Provides for Gradual Application of Tariff to Island’s Goods.

By United Press WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.—Paul V. McNutt, nominee for High Commissioner to the Philippine Com-

monwealth, faces the toughest job of his career in solving vexed questions of trade relations, insular experts believed today. The present law governing United States-Philippine ‘trade relations provides for progressive curtailment of the islands’ free trade status developed during the last quarter century, with foreign country status after independence in 1946. The trade question will become acute much earlier, however, be-

The trial of Thomas Johnson, 35, of 2734 Columbia Ave, on rape charges continued today in Criminal Court before a jury of eight men and four women.

Mrs. Mabel Mallard, 4147 Winthrop Ave, yesterday identified Johnson as her assailant. She said the attack took place Oct. 10 at 30th St. and Fall Creek Blvd. Charles Mallard, her husband, also identified Johnson. Both said that Johnson held them up and robbed them and then committed the attack. Johnson was arrested Oct. 13 by police.

Murder Solution Claimed

Detectives Thomas Aulls and Jess McCarty said that Johnson also has | been identified by the only surviving eyewitness as the slayer of Earl | Herr, city fireman, on April 28, 1936.

held him up when he and Mrs. Elizabeth Cruz, 143 W. Fall Creek Blvd. were returning from a theater. The detectives said Mrs. Cruz told them Johnson held them up at Illinois St. and Fall Creek, robbed them, wounded Mr. Kerr fatally and attempted to attack her. Prosecutor Herbert M. Spencer said he decided to try Johnson on the rape and robbery charge rather than the murder charge because Mrs. Cruz is the only surviving witness to the fatal shooting, while the state has two witnesses in the former case. Johnson is married and has two children, He was a WPA worker.
